MLB Baseball Betting – National League Dynamic Duo Free Picks
by Eric Williams
Even with the 2007-08 NBA Championship getting tons on national media exposure because of the matchup taking place between the league’s two most-storied franchises in league history in the betting online in the process of enjoying these games, doesn’t hurt either.
The BetUS Sportsbook today in this Saturday ‘double-dipper’ featuring matchups between the Chicago Cubs and Los Angeles Dodgers as well as the Philadelphia Phillies and Atlanta Braves.
Now, with all sorts of sports action taking place in various sports in the BetUS Sportsbook this weekend, let’s get started.
Los Angeles Dodgers
The Pitchers: Cubs starting pitcher Carlos Zambrano is 8-1 in 13 starts covering 86.0 innings with 57 strikeouts, 28 walks and a solid 2.51 ERA.
Dodgers’ starter Derek Lowe is 3-5 in 13 starts covering 77.2 innings. Lowe has struck out 52 batters, walked 22 and has a 4.17 ERA
The Cubs are 4-0 in Zambrano’s last 4 road starts vs. a team with a losing record.
The Cubs are 4-0 in Zambrano’s last 4 starts as a road favorite of -110 to -150.
The Dodgers are 4-1 in Lowe’s last 5 home starts with the total set at 7.0-8.5.
The Dodgers are 22-8 in Lowe’s last 30 starts following a Quality Start in his last appearance.
Analysis: I think the numbers pretty much say it all here for online MLB baseball gamblers. The Chicago Cubs are playing out of their minds and have one of the best pitchers in the game going in this matchup while the Dodgers will trot out a struggling Derek Lowe. Take the Cubs and call it a day.

Braves starter Jo-Jo Reyes is 2-3 in seven starts covering 37.2 innings with 34 strikeouts, 14 walks and a 4.78 ERA.
The Phillies are 4-0 in Kendrick’s last 4 starts vs. a team with a winning record.
The Phillies are 4-0 in Kendrick’s last 4 road starts.
The Braves are 6-1 in Reyes' last 7 home starts.
The Braves are 6-1 in Reyes' last 7 starts as a home favorite.
Analysis: I like the Atlanta Braves to win this contest with Chipper Jones going crazy at the plate right now, batting over .400 at the time of this writing. Take Atlanta’s Jo-Jo Reyes to out-duel Philly’s Kyle Kendrick in a taut ballgame.
